We live in an era of creative stagnation where I write pulp fantasy novels that are also mafia games. It is marginally better than when I wrote pulp 50s sci-fi but definitely way less flourishing than the supernatural horror of French-based historical fiction.

This is why jokephase bugs me a bit sometimes, especially in big games. People who show up late have to make a bunch of empty posts like this or else they're gonna look like lurkers, especially when looking only at post counts.

What I'm saying is liking one post is pretty worthless.

Explain how players providing content by giving opinions on other players is a bad thing, especially on D1.

"This post is good" is not content.

It's a positive read on a player, an extra connection that can be used once one of us flips. Creating those is what D1 is all about.

Actually, there are pretty much 0 worlds where I support lynching him today. How do we know what the pearl does if we instakill the beholder?

This is an overly serious reaction to a very jokey post from Hal. Later on she claims that she understands jokephase so why does she react the way she does here? It could be supporting a scum buddy as I already mentioned, it could be she knows the pearl is bad for town. That's all speculation though, my main issue with this post is that I don't see it as a towny way of thinking. If Sam's the scummiest then he should be lynched, pearl or no pearl. This reaction says that ltrigirl is judging the lynch target by a different metric.

ljtrigirl posted:

I can tell from your avatar that your head is not empty.

But this post was.

Oh hey, it's the traditional Attacking Meinberg Case(TM). We all know Meinberg, we know what he's like on D1, he's such an easy target on D1 cause he's such an awkward poster. I think ljtrigirl's just looking for the easiest target here and doesn't realise that we understand him.

ljtrigirl posted:

Dangit. I'm trying to be all easygoing this game.

So ignore that last post.

Already been mentioned but backpeddling

ljtrigirl posted:

I can be a bit..... assertive? I'm trying not to be so much anymore. idk. Self control is one of those things that I lack.

This is her making excuses for her playstyle, it's a very defensive move made out of desire to survive.

Yeah but D1 speculation is more likely to lead town in the wrong direction because there is nothing to base the speculation on.

Anything is likely to lead town in the wrong direction. We have zero information so the chances are we're lynching town today. It seems like you're trying to make excuses to avoid getting lynched for something that got you lynched in the past.

Well, I didn't think his thing about lynching the pearl guy was a joke. Regardless, I wanted to get that out there. There is more than just one scum. And while I lynch claims that I don't believe, if the pearl kills people, we would have to spend a lynch on him if he is scum.

I'm trying to parse the second part of this sentence and it is making zero sense to me. You lynch claims you don't trust but if the pearl kills people (why would we assume that?) we would have to use a day lynching him if he's scum (as we would any scum). And what does there being more than one scum matter, if Sam's the scummiest he should still be lynched.

PS. Please call it scum instead of evil, it sounds so wrong

Also, I have a harsh playstyle. One of the reasons that I came to this site is that I'm trying to be less full on assertive all the time.

I feel like we're talking about different things though. I mean, it's not like I was suggesting permainvincibility for the person holding the pearl. But given that there are multiple evils AND we don't know what the pearl does but the game seems to be focused on it, why would you be that opposed to a one day no touching period? Like, I'm assuming it's a crucial part of the game. Why wouldn't we trying to figure it out early?

At the end of the day mafia is mafia. All the roles and setup and gimmicks are just that, the crux of the game is on reading people and finding contradictions and flaws. Why put that aside to focus on a gimmick which is highly unlikely to change the core of the game?
